Art book created in Montemero art residency.
Before I went to Montemero art residency, I knew I want to create an art book/zin about stones, my feeling was intuitive, I didn´t want to create it because of some special reason/research. I didn´t know how much this topic suits the place. The place where crystal mining sculptured all land, the place with the biggest crystal cave in the world(Pulpí).
In the book, I contemplate mortality as the feature of "life". In the Czech language, we have a name for stones as unliving nature, and all my life I felt this description is somehow wrong.

Stones are unliving nature?
In the texts I tried to search for empathy and understanding by seeing stones as the human body, searching for mortality/immortality. Bounded by hair as a symbol of past experiences, illnesses, and physical experience in general.
